Cold Summer Heat
No roses from her loved ones
Not a fruitcake in sight
Another holiday gone with no spontaneous joy
Fluffy decorations and a tear-soaked pillowcase
Is all she received once again
Invisible splinters
dug deep in her veins
Imaginary spikes
shoved into bald eyelids
Poisonous joy she injected in herself
liquified dry ice
to lay her to rest
A suicidal stencil painted on her life
As destiny calls
to tear apart the tangled shingles of her soul
and redo the puzzle
to reveal her own death row
where she waits in her chamber
helpless
anticipating her day for judgement
In a cold summer heat
the Almighty decides
if she's worthy of peace or agony
Her heart wrenching tale of forgotten existence
brings no emotion to the Savior
for she took her own life
and is sentenced eternity
to live
